“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
HubSpot’s calculated properties require Operations Hub Professional, but you can create and maintain custom calculated fields using spreadsheet formulas that automatically sync back to your CRM.
This method gives you more flexibility than HubSpot’s native calculated properties while avoiding the Operations Hub cost entirely.
Build calculated properties with spreadsheet formulas using Coefficient
Coefficient connects your HubSpot data to spreadsheets where you can create complex calculations unavailable in the platform itself. You’ll pull contact, company, or deal data, apply formulas for calculations like lead scoring or revenue forecasting, then push the results back to HubSpot as custom properties.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import HubSpot data with all properties needed for calculations.
Pull contacts, companies, or deals with every field required for your calculated property. Coefficient supports all standard HubSpot objects and custom fields, so you can access data that might require multiple API calls if done manually.
Step 2. Create calculated fields using advanced spreadsheet formulas.
Build calculations that HubSpot can’t handle natively. For lead scoring, use =IF(B2=”Hot”,100,IF(B2=”Warm”,50,25)) + C2*10. For lifecycle stage duration, try =DATEDIF(D2,E2,”D”). Create weighted revenue forecasts with =F2*G2*H2. These formulas update automatically when your source data changes.
Step 3. Set up custom properties in HubSpot to store calculated values.
Create new custom properties in HubSpot that will receive your calculated values. Make sure the field types match your calculations—number properties for scores, date properties for calculated dates, text properties for concatenated values.
Step 4. Automate updates with scheduled exports.
Use Coefficient’s scheduled exports to push calculated values back to HubSpot automatically. Set refresh intervals from hourly to monthly based on how often your calculations need updating. This keeps your calculated properties current without manual intervention.
Step 5. Handle advanced calculations impossible in HubSpot.
Create cross-object calculations like average deal size per contact, time-based calculations with complex date logic, or statistical analysis including standard deviations and percentiles. Use the Append New Data feature to track calculation history over time.
Get more flexibility than Operations Hub
This approach provides more calculation options than HubSpot’s native calculated properties while giving you full control over the logic and timing. Your custom calculations stay current automatically without the Operations Hub investment. Start building your calculated properties today.
